Publisher's Description

O&O DiskImage lets you backup an entire computer or individual drives and files whenever you want - even while the computer's being used. Never again will you have to worry about lost data. The backups you make can be restored with just a few clicks of the mouse - even if Windows is unable to start.

O&O DiskImage combines features for both the home user and the IT expert in one single product. A whole range of default and user-defined options lets you create the backup scenario that suits you best. Create a Start CD from within the program which contains additional system recovery tools will let you quickly restore important data -even when the images were created with older versions of the product.

What's new in this version:

• New and enhanced image engine
• Windows Explorer support for restoring files from file-based images
• Support for Windows 10 Technical Preview (Beta)
• New user interface and Wizard

Very reliable and stable software written in Berlin by German software developers who take pride in their work. They are constantly updating and refining its functionality. Easy to use; especially, after long experience. Never had an image backup I could not restore. Never lost data. No unpleasant surprises. Always answered any emails promptly if I had questions.

Cons

Some problem burning to bootable DVDs if instructions are followed, but not intuitive as desired. Can't burn to USB drive with the current versions.

Summary

Haven't found any other image backup software I would switch to; however, I did try a few times; but always went back.

Burning it to a CD/DVDstick is a MAJOR pain! Burning to a USB stick is not an option!

Summary

I have a netbook--netbooks don't have an optical drive. O&O provide no way to burn a USB stick. When I contacted them, they sent a link. However, it was useless:

1. It was for a CD burn--which doesn't help me.2. No information on burning to a USB stick.3. It is EXTREMELY COMPLICATED. For example, you need to download the Windows AIK (This ia a tool used by professional developers.)

Compare this with Acronis True Image. Even the free Paragon Backup provides a simple menu item!

Lest you think that burning to a USB stick is something you wouldn't use..think again! If your HDD crashes--then you not only lose your stuff; you also lose your ability to recover it, because you won't have an external copy of DiskImage.
